IMO, you would want the drafts directory backed up, whether it had
files in it or not. The attributes of that directory might be important
(such as its position, color, access attributes, or just its existence).
Currently the GUI's don't work this way; however, we are looking at
ways of re-vamping the directory tree dialog, and this is one of the
many things we're looking at (including selecting an entire sub-tree
easily).
